“When you play in the NFL you are never going to feel 100 percent, but I do feel better than I have in a long time
Harris says this more than anyone I’ve heard interviewed for the NFL
"If I were a food critic being asked to write about the meal and experience at Waffle House, I would provide a drawing of two happy fat people giving each other a high five."
I thought the same thing...
when I read that comment. Is he just done for? I think the Bears need to draft a ton of interior linemen in this draft; both offensively and defensively. I don’t think Harris will be any better with Peppers on the line. The line may be better, just not Harris. Maybe it’s time to get Izzy in there as a starter at 3-technique and draft a new DT to groom for either interior position. Harris can get his 4 snaps a game and go back to running his mouth on the bench and the Bears can cut him at season’s end.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO FIRE LOVIE!
or punching people in the mouth
whatever… i think it’s FS in the third(assuming of course we dont grab a FA, and Chancellor/Wright are still on the board) and then ALL Line after that

The fs position
from what i keep hearing the bears r interestedin sharper and i would like that then they can draft a safety for him to teach and become a great safety for the future neone else agree or disagree
The Bears had Sharper in Halas Hall for a visit a week ago,
but nothing came from that. Add to that the fact that Sharper just had surgery on his knee, and I’d be willing to bet that there’s a zero chance we’ll sign him.

2010: $20 million total: $6.5 million signing bonus, $12.5 million roster bonus, $900,000 base salary and $100,000 workout bonus. Workout bonus is the same amount for the first five years of the contract. The first three years of the deal, totaling $40.5 million, are fully guaranteed.
2011: Roster bonus of $10.5 million; base salary remains $900,000.
From there, the base salaries climb each season: $8.9 million in 2012, $12.9 million in ’13, $13.9 million in ’14, $16.5 million in ’15.
This is actually an extremely smart contract by the Bears.
A good portion of the money is upfront in this uncapped year. The money is guaranteed for the first three years, but only paying out around $10m for years two and three. That’s not bad at all for a premier pass rusher.
AND the last three years of his contract are set up so that if his play diminishes because of age, we can cut him with little to no impact, since base salaries do not count against a cap figure if a player is released (only guaranteed money).
Well done Cliff Stein. Well done Chicago Bears.

From the Winners & Losers article
Peppers is expected to make a Richard Dent-type impact on Chicago’s pass rush
This brings warm feelings to my heart.
Was reading Chlak Talk on ChicagoBears.com and read this question/answer....
What jersey numbers will the three new Bears wear?
Stan R.
Chicago
That has yet to be determined. Julius Peppers wore No. 90 with the Carolina Panthers and may have to offer a financial incentive to pry the number away from second-year pro Jarron Gilbert. The numbers that running back Chester Taylor (No. 29) and tight end Brandon Manumaleuna (No. 86) wore with their previous teams should be available with the Bears. We’ll let you know as soon as those decisions are finalized.
29 is OUR Adrian Peterson… has he already been released???
GO BEARS!!!!

Robert Johnson of Utah would be a nice pick up
He ran some track in junior college, he is known for his center-fieldlike skills while playing zone coverage, but his slight frame may scare away some teams. He is 6’2", but only 197 pounds. We’ll have to see how he tests out at his pro day (March 8) as he wasn’t invited to the combine. NFLDraftscout.com has him rated as a 5th-6th round prospect.

What are the odds of us moving up in the draft to get Taylor Mays?
The guy is 6’3" 230 lbs and runs a 4.32… ridiculous
he's going in the 20's
in most mock drafts… so it could happen

In the draft eval story (by FOX no less), this part was brilliant:
NFL owners pleading poverty in CBA talks with the players union still found cash to tender record-setting contracts
What a gem of perspective!
Reading on, I am suddenly seeing the light for why AZ did well to trade Bouldin and why they may have gotten the better end of the deal (though Baltimore had to do it based on need). 4 years and $28 million for a 30+ receiver that is injury prone, and you have to give up two pretty good draft picks (I love rounds 2-5 and this was a 2 and a 3 I think). Remember that the Bears have to extend Cutler at some point, as well as leave room for smart extensions for guys like Aromashodu, Knox, Bennet, which will be a lot cheaper than Bouldin if even one of them takes it to the next level.
???
Didn’t the Bears already extend Cutler?
The Ravens got Boldin and a 5th for a 3rd and 4th. Sorry, but I think the Ravens got the better end of the deal.
As of right now, yes
but you never know who ARI drafts with those picks… could be a Lance Briggs in there somewhere

You just said it
“you never know who ARI drafts with those picks” is very correct. It could be a Lance Briggs or it could be a Michael Okwo!! You take the sure thing over the uncertain anytime. Especially a WR with Boldins resume.
Very much the truth sir

My bad on both Cutler and the picks. Sorry about the oversight.
But the $28 million for Boldin is till an accounting/risk problem. Boldin just makes me nervous because it seems like everyone AZ’s trotted out there as a #1 to #3 has been a thousand yard receiver the past few years – making me think it’s the system as much as/more than the player.

He was a Pro Bowler
Before Wisenhunt got there and when they sucked. The Cards are just good at getting good WRs. Boldin is Legit.
To add to that
In his rookie season, he had 101 catches for 1,377 yds and 8 TDs. That was before Larry Fitzgerald and with Jeff Blake and Josh McCown throwing to him. Boldin is a beast and the Ravens will definitely reap the benefits. They needed him very badly.
for a 30+ receiver that is injury prone
He returned to action 2 games after having his sinuses fractured. Hardly the definition of a guy who’s out injured all the time.

A big congrats;
It has taken along time before my eyes could see a wise move as we have seen. It makes my heart feel good that management is no longer going to wait till next year before it does something about bad issues.Now we need to get Jay Cuttler out of the Rex Grosman era of playing for the other team. The thoughts about going after a running back are good. Something to take away the usuall game of trying to go up the middle where everyone is waiting for you could be helpful. Besides it will save the wear and tear on our running backs. Many people thought JP was a mistake , I wonder if they remember Richard Dent. He proved to be a mainstay on the front line and he wa there for more than four years.Repairing the Defensive line is great and we should be thinking of the offensive line as well.We need a too tall for a wide receiver. Our corners are small and we should also get a tall corner with speed to help .Three players are not a team but we are heading for a new era. Keep your minds open and dream big.Thank you for not listening to some of our supposed fans. I apologise for remarks made earlier , maybe yu guys are trying. I still believe Lovie should be replaced. There is nothing he can do to make me think he did not give the Super Bowl away a few years back. When you are on the Grid Iron there are no buddies.B uddies are after the game not durring. Get rid of him or all you have worked for will be for not. Great job .The Taz
